Mexico City. Coffee is one of the most popular favorite drinks: some only drink it in the morning to wake up and others drink it several times during the day.

A study conducted by the Department of Dermatology at the Brown University School of Medicine indicates that coffee consumption can reduce rosacea in women.

The study was published on October 17 in JAMA Dermatology: 82,737 participants, including 4945 cases of rosacea, were identified.

In addition, the benefits of caffeine could have two effects on rosacea in women.

According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, rosacea "is a chronic disease that affects the skin", characterized by redness in the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin; buttons and pimples, as well as thickening of the skin.

It is important to mention that the causes of rosacea are not known. However, "some doctors think that rosacea occurs when the blood vessels dilate too easily, causing a reddening," says the US Department of Health and Human Services.

On the one hand, the study conducted by Brown University has highlighted a significant relationship between the risk of rosacea and the increase in caffeine consumption, especially that of coffee.

It is known that caffeine promotes vasoconstriction and thus reduces the diameter in the blood vessels and reduces blood flow through them. Thus, the redness of the skin also decreases.

According to the study, these same results "have not been found for the consumption of caffeine from other sources such as tea, sodas and chocolate".

On the other hand, the study also refers to the heat of the coffee that "may be a trigger of rosacea outbreaks". Although the disease is not well known, it is known that heat is a factor in its development.

The study shows that there is an inverse association between the increase in caffeine and the risk of contracting the disease; as well as a significant inverse association of caffeine consumption in coffee and information risk.

The end results indicated that an increase in caffeine intake of coffee significantly reduced the risk of rosacea. However, the researchers pointed out that this "does not support caffeine limitation as a preventative measure against rosacea", as new studies are needed to corroborate the results.
